BallClapperThose are two very different skis. What are you looking for? What are your priorities?
skippaagI ski in the Midwest so not much to do other than rope laps in the park. I also go out west or to the east coast once a year ish and want a ski that can do all mountain on both coasts.
SchizoSkierGo with the giver, surface has stepped their durability up in recent years and I loved mine
slauccualDo you have the 2024 givers?
SchizoSkierI had 2021 givers

OldParkRatI couldn’t agree more. Surface has engineered a great park/all mountain combo ski in the Give’r. Durable and reliable.

slauccualwhich ones did you have and how stable were they on different size jumps.
Browland3I bought the giver this year with the 2023 model top sheet, and had them center mounted. I really like the ski but wish it had more flex, it is advertised as a softer flex but I would have to disagree. So far I have skied on them for about 25-30 days and just developed one small edge crack on one ski from hitting rails (which is expected) and I hit rails 98% of the days I ski. Otherwise the top sheet is very durable and I have enjoyed these in the park and outside the park. I live in Montana and the givers will suffice in powder, and all mountain. Ive heard the playmaker is a bit heavy but don't know too much about that ski.
